| Post subject: | 13hp or 22hp? |
Hi, I have a 1436 Tracker Topper (the riveted one). I am planning on ordering a Backwater kit in the next month or so so I can have it all figured out and set up with plenty of time before teal season. I was planning on getting a 13hp predator and the respective glider kit but now they have a glider kit for the new 22hp vtwin Predator (or Hondas etc). So, has anyone tried a 22hp one yet? My biggest concern is that the 22hp might be too heavy for the boat. I am waiting on backwater to send me the weights of the 2 glider kits but the motors themselves are a difference on 33lbs. One is 73 and one is 106. I imagine the glider kits are about the same as each other. I know it is easy to mod the 13 to get more out of it too. What would you guys recommend? |

I recommend the most hp u can afford. Yes the 33 lbs is a bit more but it's not too much more. Reposition the battery and gas tank to the front to accommodate for those extra pounds in the rear. |

If you are looking at just weight then look at Vegascartsperformance.com : clone motors, 25 HP in a single cyl 460 CC, 6000 RPM motor. It is a seriously modded 390 motor for I think $600.00. Mark F. Cheney |

I agree with Alexm. If it were me I would stay stock and go with the 22. Not hard to offset 30 lbs. |

I'm in the same position with a 1436 as well and am about to build a mud motor from a kit in the next few weeks. Today I saw that harbor freight has the 22 hp predators for 549 on sale till the 18th which is making the decision even harder. what are you using the boat for? |
